The 4-story, 7-unit building at 83 East 18th Street in Flatbush, owned by Felicia Colon, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an open violation from July 2024 regarding a roach infestation in apartment 4B, and in October 2023, violations were issued for mold in the laundry room and window sash repair issues in apartment 4B.

The building has also faced multiple infrastructure and safety concerns, including four active violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2019-2023, persistent pest control challenges, and recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints reported for the entire building in December 2022 and an apartment unit in January 2022. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of both reactive and preventive measures, with multiple door/window repairs, plumbing issues, and heat/hot water complaints recorded between 2020-2024. The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2020-2025, with no reported infestations during any of the annual filing periods.

While recent rodent inspections from 2018 showed varying results, including some instances of rat activity, the most recent inspections have passed. The Department of Buildings records indicate proper permit issuance for various works between 2018-2019, suggesting some level of proactive maintenance. The property has undergone periodic inspections and received various violations ranging from Class A (less serious) to Class C (more serious), with the majority being resolved, though several recent violations remain open as of October 2023.
